Gator Boys wrestle gators in Moss Point

FOX 10 NEWS– A pair of Florida trappers with their own reality show are wrestling gators in Jackson County, Mississippi this weekend.

Paul Bedard and Jimmy Riffle are the stars of Animal Planet’s “Gator Boys” . The men hand-trap nusiance alligators that have invaded human-populated areas of the Florida Everglades and release them into the wild.
